A capulana is a length of cotton fabric, about 2 meters by 1 meter dyed in vibrant colors and with particular patterns and drawings. It can either be used as a wrap-around skirt or become a baby carrier on the back. Sometimes it is used also on the head, like a veil . It is worn in Mozambique and everywhere in southern Africa. Capulana is an important piece of women clothing and used in important occasions and also in everyday life.
